Hearst's Seattle Paper May Move to Web.

The Hearst Corporation has given the first concrete sign that it might turn its Seattle newspaper into an Internet-only news outlet, making offers to some of its staff to stay on in such an operation, journalists there said on Thursday. Hearst said in January that if it could not sell The Seattle Post-Intelligencer by this Tuesday, it would stop printing the paper and either shut it down or become a much smaller online publisher. No buyer has emerged, and an announcement is expected next week. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
